The Weeknd, Canadian music icon, has officially announced his highly anticipated 2025 North American stadium tour, titled the 'After Hours Till Dawn' tour, which will see the artist perform across major cities. The tour kicks off on May 9, 2025, at the State Farm Stadium in Phoenix, Arizona, and runs through to September 3, concluding at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
Fans can look forward to some spectacular performances with over 25 scheduled shows, including stops at iconic venues. Notably, The Weeknd will be gracing Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium for a concert on July 19, alongside fellow artists Playboi Carti and Mike Dean.
Heather Seutter, the director of Commonwealth Stadium, expressed her enthusiasm about the artist's visit, stating, "We are very excited about Edmonton being chosen as a stop on The Weeknd's tour." She also emphasized the role of artists like The Weeknd, noting they contribute significantly to the cultural identity and economic growth of the city. "It plays a pivotal role in fostering cultural identity, creating community, and driving growth in Edmonton's economy," Seutter added.
For Canadian fans, this tour holds special significance as The Weeknd continues to ride high on the success of his recently released album, "Hurry Up Tomorrow," which came out just before the tour announcement. This album marks the finale of his trilogy, following the critically acclaimed "After Hours" (2020) and "Dawn FM" (2022).
2024 was particularly monumental for The Weeknd. He became the first artist to have 27 songs each surpassing the billion-stream mark on Spotify, as stated by Live Nation Canada. This achievement has cemented him as one of the most commercially successful musicians of our time.
But let's not forget, the concert announcement has turned heads for its back-to-back shows set for Toronto at the Rogers Centre on July 27 and 28. With the momentum building, tickets for this much-anticipated tour will officially go on sale to the public on February 7 at 10:00 AM on Ticketmaster. Fans would certainly want to grab their tickets quickly, as these shows are expected to sell out fast, considering the artist's immense popularity.
Commonwealth Stadium isn't just becoming home to The Weeknd's concert. The venue has attracted global talent over the last few years, hosting performances from renowned artists like Morgan Wallen and Metallica. Its growing reputation as a premier location for major events makes it even more exciting for local fans.
With the tour drawing nearer, the excitement continues to build as more details are expected to emerge. The Weeknd's blend of captivating performances, dazzling stage design, and memorable hits will undoubtedly light up the summer skies.
